        Verdict

        Rift Valley is likely to be at short odds for this novices' chase and is impossible to oppose with Bacardi Boy given slight preference for the forecast spot over Itsmyturnnow. A useful performer over hurdles, the son of Good Thyne looks to be at least as good over fences judged by his debut success over Stromness at Exeter. In a different league to his rivals, he should win with the minimum of fuss. Winning hunter chaser Itsmyturnnow has more to do here under a penalty than when winning at Folkestone and Bacardi Boy, a creditable third behind Stand Easy at Uttoxeter last month looks the better bet for silver. The remainder make limited appeal.
